About

Organizations are not failing at AI because of the technology. They are failing because no one built the organizational muscle to absorb it. That is the problem I solve.

Twenty years at AWS, Microsoft, and top-tier consultancies. I scaled AWS Healthcare delivery from 5 to 200+ professionals, drove 240% YoY growth, and maintained 100% client retention across a $135M portfolio. At Artisan Studios I built a Six-Pillar AI Adoption Framework, a Responsible AI governance model, and an Innovation Lab in under 60 days. I have led through complexity, owned P&Ls, and delivered when there was no room for failure.

As an advisor or board member I bring the operator%27s lens most boards are missing -- not what AI can do, but what it actually takes to execute on it. Governance frameworks, delivery infrastructure, change readiness, organizational design. I ask the questions that determine whether an AI investment compounds or stalls.

The companies that benefit most: mid-market and growth-stage technology, SaaS, and professional services firms with strong technical vision and underdeveloped execution infrastructure. If the board keeps asking why AI initiatives are not producing returns, that is usually where I add the most value.
